Abyssal Shade of the Drowned Forgotten

2 weeks ago by Admin - Monsters

A towering apparition draped in ragged aquatic drapery, this entity exudes an aura of despair and sorrow. Its form appears semi-translucent, resembling a ghostly marionette dangling from unseen strings. Azure hues swirl and shimmer akin to the depths of the ocean, while the creature's face is a haunting mask of grief, twisted into a perpetual wail. The Abyssal Shade of the Drowned Forgotten is said to be the remnant of those who perished in tragic maritime disasters, forever tethered to the sorrow of their watery graves. It commands the power of the sea, calling forth spectral torrents and enshrouding its foes in darkness, compelling them to relive their worst fears.
